The entire struction was built of wood,[2] apart from the shelter, which was clad in corrugated iron.[3] The halt closed on 2 January 1931, when passenger services ceased on the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway.[2] . The station was demolished after closure and the trackbed is now part of the Crab and Winkle footpath.
